> Does any one out there know how to check whether an  element tag say

Just use xsl:if or xsl:choose with an XPath expression to the
element in question.

E.g.
<xsl:template match="/">
   <xsl:choose>
      <xsl:when test="//nameid">Yeah - the document contains a nameid</xsl:when>
      <xsl:otherwise>Sorry, no nameid found</xsl:otherwise>
   </xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

(Directly typed into my mailer - no warranty for typos)

XSLT questions are better posted to xsl-list,
see http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list

Cheers,
Oliver
